Manhattan

Cocktail connoisseurs feel very strongly about shaking versus stirring. Some people believe that drinks made of pure alcohol should always be stirred and that drinks with nonalcoholic mixers should always be shaken (unless they are carbonated). Others hold that you should use only cracked or shaved ice (never whole cubes).

I agree that it must
be stirred, not
shaken. Also,
Canadian Club Rye
Whiskey works
wonderfully. I also
double the bitters
dashes, and let it
"mellow" in the ice
by allowing it to
sit for a minute
after stirring, and
before you pour.
